If there is one thing that has become abundantly clear in the development of Tessa Thompson’s career, it’s that she loves to challenge and be challenged. The kinds of characters Thompson has gravitated toward in recent years, as her star power has grown, are intelligent, capable, singularly-focused, determined women. Characters that know their own minds, are resolute, unshakable even when the odds seem stacked. One could say it feels like Thompson chooses to play characters that are an extens...

We are overcome with emotions. On Tuesday, HBO debuted the official Game of Thrones final season trailer. It is the first true footage we’ve gotten of what’s to come in the eighth and final season, which is set to premiere on April 14. On the first watch, there’s an overwhelming sense of both dread and intrigue that permeates every shot. On the second watch (and third, and fourth and beyond because one viewing isn’t enough), there’s lots to unpack that seem to only hei...

On Sunday, February 24 the 91st annual Academy Awards, a.k.a. the 2019 Oscars, will air on ABC at 8/7c. Considered the peak of the Hollywood award season in the U.S., plans for what folks can expect at the Oscars this year have changed wildly from minute to minute with some of the more notable controversies being that this year’s show no longer has a host and the Academy reversing a decision to not show winners of key technical awards after an instant backlash when it was announced just three...

There are only a few weeks left until the premiere of Captain Marvel on March 8th (International Women’s Day!) and to say this film is eagerly-awaited would be putting it mildly. Since the gut-wrenching finale of Avengers: Infinity War and the promise of Captain Marvel’s, a.k.a. Carol Danvers, arrival in Infinity War’s post-credits scene, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been beyond keen to see how one of the most beloved female superheroes will figure into the MCU — especially beca...

It looks like the upcoming Ghostbusters from Jason Reitman is getting support from Melissa McCarthy, as the film prepares to start filming in a few months time. There's been wildly mixed reactions from fans of the original films and the 2016 reboot since the project was officially announced earlier in 2019. Now, it looks like McCarthy is firmly planting her flag in the pro-Reitman Ghostbusters camp, which could help add legitimacy to the film.

I’ve always had a mild obsession with drinkware — mostly mugs, when I was younger. The great joke of being a child obsessed with the magic of a good mug — large, stylish, or witty, with a handle that fit perfectly in my hand — is that I never seemed to have a need for one. What kid is chugging coffee or tea by the mugful before school? But the magic of a mug was in what it symbolized to me. To have a mug meant that you needed to get ready for the day, because you were a grown-up going out int...

I always knew I was bisexual — I just wasn't sure I could say it out loud. I'd grown up a very independent and vocal young woman, encouraged to support other women and minorities in their fight for equality and their right to be seen. I've had friends in the LGBTQ community my entire life; queerness was never an unknown entity to me, and I loved those who knew who they were without question.
Yet, in spite of growing up in a very tolerant, ac...
